Imam Musa al-Kadhim (AS) and Prison Guards

In the time of our 7th Imam, Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) the ruler was a bad man called Haroon Rasheed, who hated Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS).Haroon Rasheed came to Madina where Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) lived and had Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) arrested and sent to a prison in Basra.

Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) stayed in this prison under the guard of a man called Yahyah.
Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) was a kind man who always talked nicely to everyone, even Yahyah who kept him in prison. Soon Yahyah felt bad for keeping such a nice person in prison.
Haroon Rasheed found out and took Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) to another prison. Again Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) through his kindness and politeness made the other person also feel bad.
